How to Knit Through the Back Loop (ktbl)

Knitting through the back loop of a stitch is a method used to create a twisted knit stitch.

1.

Instead of inserting your needle as you would for a regular knit stitch, insert your right needle into the right side of the stitch, so your needle is across the back of the stitch.

2.

Complete the stitch as you would usually complete a knit stitch, you're essentially just doing a knit stitch from a different angle.
